端午节，又称端阳节、龙舟节、重五节、天中节等，是集拜神祭祖、祈福辟邪、欢庆娱乐和饮食为一体的民俗大节。端午节与春节、清明节、中秋节并称为中国四大传统节日。端午节源于自然天象崇拜，由上古时代祭龙演变而来。春秋时期，民间开始兴起过端午的做法。

端午节两个标志性习俗是扒龙舟和食粽。全国各地的端午节习俗因地域文化的不同，在呈现的形式上也存在着不同的细节。比如：包粽子、赛龙舟、射柳、斗百草、辟邪毒、挂香囊、系五彩绳、喝雄黄酒等等。

译：The two typical customs of the Dragon Boat Festival are dragon boating and eating zongzi. The customs of the Dragon Boat Festival all over the country have different details in the form of presentation due to different regional cultures such as making zongzi, racing dragon boats, shooting willows, fighting herbs, warding off evil spirits, hanging sachets, tying colorful ropes, drinking realgar wine, etc.

纪念爱国诗人屈原。公元前278年，秦军攻破楚国京都，屈原眼看自己的祖国被侵略，心如刀割，但是始终不忍舍弃自己的祖国，于五月五日，在写下了绝笔作《怀沙》之后，抱石投汨罗江自尽，以自己的生命谱写了一曲壮丽的爱国主义乐章。为了寄托哀思，人们荡舟江河之上，此后才逐渐发展成为龙舟竞赛。百姓们又怕江河里的鱼吃掉他的身体，就纷纷回家拿来米团投入江中，以免鱼虾糟蹋屈原的尸体，后来就成了吃粽子的习俗。

译：The Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. In 278 B.C., the Qin Army conquered the capital of Chu. Seeing that his motherland was invaded, Qu Yuan was heartbroken, but he could not bear to escape from his motherland. After writing the masterpiece‘Huaisha’ on May 5th, he jumped into the Miluo River to commit suicide, composing a magnificent patriotic movement with his own life. In order to express condolences, people rowed boats on the rivers, which gradually developed into dragon boat races. People were afraid that the fish in the river would eat Quyuan’s body, so they went home and brought rice balls into the river to prevent the fish and shrimp from ruining Qu Yuan's body, which later became the custom of eating zongzi.

此次过端午节，孩子们不仅感受到了家的温暖，也了解了端午节的传统文化，同时对同学们进行了爱国主义教育。
